Chief Justice of India NV Ramana lodged a police complaint on Monday afternoon after a Twitter account bearing his name was found posting fake messages on the social media platform.

Sworn in Saturday, the Chief Justice does not have a Twitter, or any other social media, account.

The tweet - from the handle @NVRamanna - has been deleted but the account itself, at the time of writing, remains active and has tweeted 98 times so far.

The deleted tweet read: "Due to Ajit Doval's diplomacy, the US decided to supply raw materials to India #vaccination @PMOIndia".

Justice Ramana took oath as the 48th Chief Justice Of India last week.

He was sworn in by President Ram Nath Kovind in a small ceremony - attendance was limited due to Covid restrictions - at Rashtrapati Bhavan in Delhi.
